converting date format

[gubbachchi]

Hi,

I have an issue regarding the php date format. I choose the date from date-picker which is in the format date('Y-m-d') i.e. 2008-09-12, then I will store this date in the variable $date_id and send this date to different php pages and I need to print the date from $date_id variable in the format date('d F Y') i.e. 12 september 2008. How can I do this using php date functions

WIth regards

Use gmmktime() to convert your time to Unix time stamp format.

See this tutorial.

This will do it [php]<?php
$date_id='2008-09-12';
echo date('d F Y', strtotime($date_id));
?>[/php]result

12 September 2008
